A/N: While you guys are read the part in ITALICS, imagine that you are playing a horror video game. You know, the ones where you are in a weird dream like room and have to look for clues. That's what I imagined while trying to read to write that part.

Jaemin silently gasped as he was startled awake. He didn't know exactly what woke him up, but he knew something did. He looked around the room as he slowly got off the couch.

It was strangely empty and pitch black. Jaemin knew something was wrong with this picture since every member from NCT should have been in here.

The room seemed to light up a bit since the moon was now shining through the closed curtains. There was also something else that was off about the room because he couldn't hear anything.

He couldn't hear the humming of the refrigerator nor his own breathing. He put out his arm so that he could see his hand. Jaemin moved his fingers and hand around. At least he had control over his body.

Though at that moment there was something else that wasn't quiet right. He didn't have any clothes on, yet he wasn't cold at all. In fact, it was a little warm. For some reason, he didn't feel embarrassed that he wasn't wearing any clothes.

Maybe it was because there was no one around. Yet, at the same time, it felt like someone was watching him. A small spot of light could be seen in the middle of the room. Jaemin stared at it.

There was something enchanting about the small spot of light. Slowly and carefully, he got off the couch and walked towards it. It suddenly moved to the entrance of the hallway.

Jaemin was startled and took a few steps back. After a few more seconds of watching the spot of light, he moved towards it again, though this time with more caution. The light moved again into the hallway.

Jaemin was only startled a little bit by the movement this time. He followed the light as it moved down the hallway and stopped in front of the door.

The light went underneath the door. Joemin then heard a small sound coming from something in the room. It sounded Iike someone was crying.

He couldn't tell who it was, but he knew it was someone in Dream. Slowly, he pulled down the door handle and opened the door. He was surprised that it opened, expecting it to be locked.

He slowly pushed open the door and was met with more eerie shadows and darkness. He was still able to hear the sound of someone crying but didn't see anyone else in the room.

Jaemin searched for the spot of light again. He found it on one of the alarm clocks in the room that was perched on a nightstand. Those two items were the only things that were in the room.

Jaemin walked to the spot of light that was placed on a very specific spot on the clock. As he got closer, the crying got louder.
